As many of you have no doubt seen, @hippie-witha-gun announced that we have separated. I do not want to divulge too many details, but suffice it to say that I feel it is best for our son's well-being.
Theo recently ordered a rainbow hairband from one of @papa-pepper 's kids. In the package, @mama-pepper included a surprise bonus for me. Thank you, @mama-pepper. I'm sorry it took so long for me to post
I've been having a hard time dealing with being back at work and leaving Maverick at home. I'm not really worried about him (I mean, I am...what mother wouldn't. Lol) because I know he is well cared for
Baby Man has started smiling and laughing. It makes all the fussy times worth it, and I'm not getting so overwhelmed now. He has grown so much already. I'm torn between wanting him to stay small and wanting
Maternity leave is officially over. I went back to work yesterday. Maverick was not too happy about that and made sure to let me know when I got home. Lol My first couple days back have not been easy.
We made some progress today! I have this baby wearing wrap so I can carry Maverick around and have my hands free. Well, he never really took to it and cried almost immediately after being put in it. I
Happy Halloween! Today was a shitty day, quite literally. Maverick had not pooped in over 3 days and had become extremely fussy. He seemed to be in pain. Then he wouldn't drink from his bottle but wanted
As I'm writing this, Maverick is sleeping soundly in his great-grandma's arm for the first time today. We had a busy day. Maverick slept very well last night, but this morning he woke up fussy and stayed
Baby Man had another restless day and did a lot of spitting up - so much that we nearly ran out of burp cloths again. So we took him to the laundromat to wash all his stuff. He does fine at night, but
Good morning, Steemit! Sorry we missed you yesterday! It was a rough day. Baby Man spent most of the day crying and wouldn't really nap, even when we took him into town. But he slept pretty well last night.
Today was a quiet, lazy day. We watched The Secret Life of Pets this morning while Maverick slept in my arms. We made some progress on sitting calmly in his swing awake and self-soothing. He even put himself
I realized I have not been posting much since Maverick was born. I have decided to try making at least one post every day with a picture of our baby boy, starting today. Last night was rough. Maverick
On September 25 at 5:30pm, we checked in to the hospital to start the induction process. I was 40 weeks and 3 days pregnant, and it was time for him to make his appearance. I was told once they got me
Yesterday was interesting... I started to have signs of labor coming. I'll spare you the gory details. Lol I started freaking out thinking, this is it! Much sooner than I expected. I thought for sure I
We had an appointment with the midwife today. At the last one, she said my belly was measuring a little big, so she scheduled an ultrasound, which we did today. Maverick is actually measuring a little
Got a telemarketing call earlier, one I've had many times before. This time I followed the prompts until I got a real person. I asked to be removed from the call list. He said no problem, he just had to
The beginning of this fiasco: The resolution: After researching and panicking all day, I called every midwife in the area I could find. I finally got a call back from the one my chiropractor recommended.
Yesterday, I had my 32 week prenatal appointment, during which I think I overwhelmed the doctor with my birth plan. He began with an "oh, no" and said that it is the "kiss of death"
This is something that has been weighing heavily on my heart during this pregnancy. I just need to get it out... As I am writing this, I can feel my son turning over in my belly. He is nearly 32 weeks
